Numbers have been updated with WEEK 24 from Famitsu.



Around the Network

Switch now reaching the point in sales where the DS went berserk in October - but did so 18 weeks earlier.



With a 650k lead for Switch that is only going to get larger until October, I think it's safe to use a different comparison.

Switch is more likely to hit over 4M this year with these numbers than it is to hit 3.3M. Heck, it's already half of the 3DS's without factoring in any of the holiday season.

We could probably use a different comparison for PS5, but I kind of like seeing the perspective of how well it's selling in Japan this year after the previous two years weren't so great.

I will wait a bit more, maybe till the end of june, for both of these, before changing them.

Ps5 is likely going to have a pretty hefty upswing for the next 2-4 weeks for final fantasy. I think 2.5+ could be likely for the system
